FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

At what cost? Paying $70 extra for 1200 EQMs is pretty pricey. And I doubt those 1200 are going to make the difference between SWUs or not. If they are I can likely spend less to get them later on.

What if I fill in some more details?
Option 1 is WN LGA-MDW-MSP
Option 2 is UA LGA-ORD-MSP
Option 3 is YX LGA-MKE-MSP

Given that, I'd go option 3, then option 1. I'd skip option 2 all together. :-:

I like examples to help me learn, this training had no examples to illustrate WT F they were talking about. :rolleyes:

My instructors are pretty good. Pretty much every tool we learn includes presentation/analysis of at least 1 worked example. Plus, as we work on our improvement projects, we're assigned one or more technical mentors who sit down with us on the job to ensure we're using the process/tools properly.

I have never heard of YX, so I will have to google that one.

YX = Midwest Express.

G'day box.

Normalcy is returning to Casa de :rolleyes:. Much to our surprise the power came back on just after 7a this morning. Figured it was going to be delayed even further when I heard the FD get toned out for a fire at the local substation. :eek:

Heading off to Dunkin' in a couple. My coffee maker is working, but I had to pitch the milk (along with all of our condiments). :rolleyes:

Condiments for parents are still being preserved in my fridge so guess the new pole delivered yesterday still isn't hooked up.

Yeah, a lot of the smaller and/or newer carriers have pretty obscure codes, like OO for Skywest. I had to do some searching when I was converting my Mileage Plus data dump to know who was Skywest, Air Wisconsin, Trans States, Mesa, Chautaqua, Atlantic Coast, etc.

BoB food is coming this fall - hardly a surprise... I think this will actually be a good change.

I was at a rather major meeting today where someone from our Cambridge, MA site reported it was closed because the sewers couldn't accomodate flushing. I almost chimed in so when did you guys get two-ply!
B:Dx can be a bad influence.

Not sure how I feel about it. I saw it coming when they reduced meal type options.

It's odd to me that Scott (and other CO management) has always touted the meals at mealtime to be a huge differentiator in the market for CO, yet they're abandoning that.

Maybe if they considered lowering prices on fares, more people would be flying. I'm sorry, but $400 to do IAH-RDU in May just isn't competitive.

Design of experiments, etc. Process improvement tools, basically.

Yummeh. :-: Sadly, I had to sign an intellectual property release even though I work in the Hospitality division of DuPont. So if I invent a great new process for working a front door, I don't own the rights to it. :rolleyes:

I hope CO will use this as an opportunity to offer a really great BOB product. I have no issue with CO doing this, as long as it actually expands and improves the service.

Recent quotes have suggested it is, at best, a tertiary differentiator. That isn't enough to justify the costs of the program.

For folks looking to a hot option I say keep dreaming.

AC has a pretty decent Executive First sale to Europe. IAH-YYZ-MUC for $2k a/i.

All times are GMT -6. The time now is 8:57 am.
